Leny Yoro has reportedly agreed to join Real Madrid, with Los Blancos stepping up the efforts to sign him and beat Liverpool and Manchester United to his signature.
According to a report by Spanish outlet MARCA, Leny Yoro is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The Merengues are keen on signing the 18-year-old LOSC Lille defender in the summer transfer window and have intensified their efforts to secure his services.
Another report by French outlet Sports Zone has claimed that the French defensive sensation has agreed to join Real Madrid in the summer transfer window. The youngster is also a target for Liverpool and Manchester United. However, the latest update has come as a blow for the Premier League heavyweights.
The rise of Leny Yoro
Leny Yoro is one of the best young defensive prospects in the world, having become a mainstay at the back for LOSC Lille as an 18-year-old. The youngster amassed over 3,500 minutes of game time across 44 appearances in all competitions in the 2023/24 season, chipping in with three goals. And his progress has alerted top clubs like Liverpool, Manchester United, and Real Madrid.
Recent reports have claimed that Liverpool and Manchester United have held talks to sign the Frenchman. While the Reds want to replace Joel Matip following his departure as a free agent, the latter will aim to fill Raphael Varane’s impending void by signing his compatriot in the summer transfer window.
A recent report also claimed that Leny Yoro was open to joining Manchester United, giving the Red Devils some hope to secure his services. However, the latest update has poured cold water on that notion, with the 18-year-old defensive sensation agreeing to join Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.
Real Madrid to beat Liverpool, Manchester United to Yoro?
The Merengues are losing Nacho as a free agent, with the Spanish utility man on the verge of joining Saudi Pro League Al-Qadsiah. So, Real Madrid can do with a young replacement, bringing Yoro into the picture.
The report by MARCA has revealed that the reigning La Liga champions are intensifying their efforts to secure Leny Yoro’s services. So, with the 18-year-old Frenchman closing in on joining Real Madrid, Liverpool and Manchester United must look elsewhere to bolster their defensive departments.
